Red Sledge by Lita Judge
In this almost wordless picture book, a host of woodland creatures take a child's sledge for a night time joy ride. Their whimsical ride is gorgeously depicted in bold watercolour, complemented by humorous expressions and pitch-perfect sound effects.
"Beautiful… A perfect book for both a small child to look at and for an imaginative adult to read aloud" -- Anna Carey * Irish Times *
"Save for some brilliantly onomatopoeic sound effects the action of this wonderfully simple tale is conveyed solely through the watercolour illustrations.. The wintery landscape is atmospheric enough to make you long for a snowfall." * Time Out, Best Books for Christmas *
"A beautifully warm hearted story for a wintery night . . . Simple illustrations tell this story perfectly." * Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading *
"A lovely, festive book, perfect for reading together" -- Zoe Page * The Bookbag *
"The book begs to be read aloud and offers wonderful opportunities for audience participation. This delightful flight of fancy conveys the true excitement of sledding with the imagined fun of befriending wildlife. A gem." * School Library Journal, Starred Review *
